Happy Holidays to all of our readers this season! We are delighted to present our festive edition of The Bernards-Ridge Connection filled with new and returning advertisers, wonderful sections and great editorial. Our dedicated sections this issue are: Holiday Cheer, Shop Morristown, Home & Design, Dining For The Holidays, Health & Wellness, Charming Chester, Houses of Worship, “Spotlight” on Seniors and the Community Calendar. We hope these sections help you find local businesses and professionals this holiday season in an efficient and easy way. Please remember to SHOP LOCAL for the Holidays and support your local businesses who work hard to bring us quality goods and services! Featured from our business/professional community this issue are: Bling by Design, Soul Sisters, Springboard Therapy, Bernardsville Centre, Sparkle Floors & Carpet, Kevin Yento & Associates, Fellowship Village and Rainbow Child Care. Our talented writers and some of the business owners have given us unique insight into these businesses and their respective owners. Local artist, Laura Shabazz, adorns our front cover with an interesting piece entitled, “RED UMBRELLA.” The medium is ONLY salvaged magazine paper and glue. Laura states, “The paper is torn from magazines and old books that I salvage from recycling bins. I don’t use any paint, ink, or digital manipulation; even the different shades of the book pages are due to the natural yellowing of the pages. Most of the pieces of paper are torn by hand, and the larger collages use hundreds of tiny scraps. I get straight lines by using the edges of the paper, though occasionally I use scissors for precise shapes.” Laura’s inspiration for this collage came after looking at black and white photography of foggy nights. Please read Laura’s impressive bio on page 8. Look for our FUN contest in this issue: SPOT THE FAKE! Somewhere in this issue is a fake ad. Find it and email us at Spotthefake@theconnectionsnj.com. Please use the subject line: FAKE and include the answer, your name, town and phone number. The Winner will be chosen randomly from a list of those who entered the correct answer and will receive a prize from a local business. Good luck and have fun SPOTTING THE FAKE!
